ROTOR TIME TRIAL Q-RINGS $245
This aero 54-tooth (paired with 42T inner ring) chainring
was custom created for triathletes requesting a bigger, more
aero cookie. The outer ring is also available separately for
$156. rotorusa.com
KOOBI PRS $150
The PRS remains one of the most comfortable, customizable
saddles in cycling. Using different colored elastomers (each with a
different durometer) inserted at the rear of the Ti rails, cyclists can
tune the suspension for long days in the saddle. koobi.com
TOKEN TI/SCANDIUM/ALLOY 10-SPEED CASSETTE $249
The best way to a triathlete’s heart is to lighten his or her ride. To
that end, Token offers a new mixed-material cassette, consisting of
four hard-anodized 7075 cogs, four scandium cogs, with the two
smallest teeth comprised of titanium. Depending on ratio, weight
ranges from a featherweight 101 to 150 grams and each carries a
10,000-kilometer warranty. tokenproducts.com
TRIXTER $1,095
Off-season rides on trainers are OK, but you lose that natural feel and rhythm, especially out of saddle. The Trixter offers
the real-world ride of a bike that pivots, has 32 levels of pedal
resistance and seven levels of upper-body resistance for a great
core-training experience. Used by XC pros Christophe Sauser and
Kashi Leuchs, the XTERRA set (and roadies) will find it a great
alternative to the straight-line trainer this winter. x-biking.com
